ESPN crying over loss by RG3

RGIII had his MRI last night and nothing has leaked out yet. That tells me it has to be bad news. Last time they leaked the results almost immediately. This tells me its likely a torn ACL and its in the hands of the PR people right now trying to come up with the least damaging explanation of how this was allowed to happen. Any other player on that team with the same exact injury sits the full 4 or 5 weeks to get 100% healthy. The whole world could see he was not healthy. He re-injured his knee twice yesterday and both times he wasn't even touched. Both times he tried to make somewhat of an awkward move and the knee gave out because it was unstable to begin with. I like the kid as a player but this was a very bad decision from the entire group, RGIII, Shanahan, and the team doctors.

If so, this is going to become a huge controversy about players' health. The league will start taking the decisions out of the hands of coaches and maybe the teams.

I don't think Bob should be blamed at all. It's a playoff game, of course he's going to say he can play. Square on the coaches and medical staff.

Where to place blame is a different issue altogether. It was still a bad decision by RGIII to stay in the game when he knew he wasn't able to get the job done. 2 or 3 unproductive series after he got hurt and he should have been out.

Rg3 was playing his *** off before that knee injury...it would probably have been prudent to keep him on the sideline until absolutely necessary. cousins was capable. Ah well. it's unfortunate. It's a better league when the cowboys and redskins are actually in competition as opposed to one dominating the other. Hopefully the kid sees the same doctors as AP did...lol.

That's what the coach is for. If Bob was a veteran, he might've had the sense to take himself out, but he's a rookie playing in his team's first home playoff game since '99.

Hell, Romo was going to go back in with a broken collarbone.

I doubt any player in the playoffs (save Cutler) would pull themselves out of a game of that magnitude.
